Beagle-boxer-basset mix wins World's Ugliest Dog Contest
The World’s Ugliest Dog Contest declared a new winner for 2013. The title went to a four-year-old mutt mix, part beagle, boxer and basset named Walle from Chico, California.
He took the title with his huge head, short thick stature which includes a hump back and duck waddle. Walle beat out 29 other contenders at the 25th anniversary of the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma on Friday night. Walle was a late entry in the contest, arriving minutes before the closing time.
Walle was acquired by his owner Tammie Barbee at three months old and won the crowd with his hind leg stance which demonstrated his girth and large head as he took a biscuit from his owner. She says, “People come up to me and say that dog is not right, but I love him.”
Judge Brian Sobel said: "This dog looked like he's been photo shopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few other animals." Walle waddled away with $1,500 for winning the title of World’s Ugliest Dog as well as a trophy.
There's a not very interesting video of Walle being announced as winner here.
